    4 kHz vs 8 kHz vs 12 kHz on deeper silver coins

    Finally got it to publish! I used only three coins for the comparison, and the only thing changed throughout the test was operating frequency. 4 kHz is also fantastic for iron rejection vs other Deus freqs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv3ErNrkuxo&feature=youtu.be

    :crazy: Best hunt with Deus so far!!! :crazy:

    Last night I revisited the newest rental permission and spent almost 5 hours covering about 85% of the front a back yards. After starting on the backyard a couple nights ago, I managed 3 or 4 Wheats in a relatively short time and hadn't covered a lot of area - so I knew on a return trip this...

    Newest rental permission hunt cut short by guy running from cops! :ninja:

    Went out to the newest rental house permission last night which is conveniently located exactly behind my house - all I had to do was step over the low fence and turn on and go... I've wanted to hunt this house for a long time but if there are tenants inside I simply won't do it. Even with the...

    Yesterday's relic hunt...

    I Spent 5 hours yesterday in Knoxville at the site of a little-known Civil War skirmish and was able to dig a couple nice relics. My absolute first find at this site was over 10 years ago, and it was a piece of a Hotchkiss sabot that really made the detector sing! Yesterday was no different - I...

    Last 3 hunts - silver streak and cast aluminum woes!

    I've been busy recently hunting 2 hours here, 4 hours there; but have been finding a few goodies nonetheless! First picture is from the most recent rental house permission - I used the "4K SILVER" program that has Reac =3, Silencer = 0, and Notch is 00-72 and 94-99. This knocks out everything...

    Some toasty Wheats...

    Hey guys - Haven't found any silver in a few days but still turning up Wheats pretty well here and there. Dad and I went out to the old homestead but oddly enough only found high-relief Memorials from 1962-1968. We found 15 pennies total, all of them 5-8" deep around where the old home stood...

    Get motivated!!!

    I have been using the Deus since Dec 22nd and the amount of goodies turned up has been unprecedented!!!! To be fair, I've dug a LOT of trash, but what's pictured are the better finds in less than 5 months with this machine! I still turn up silver coins less than 50 feet from my front door - the...

    2 hours at the school and 2 hours earlier today with 4 kHz

    Hello again! I've really been enjoying not being at work the past 3 days - it rained the first two days off but now the ground is perfect for deep targets! I went back the elementary school across the street and decided to try out a "4K SILVER" program just loaded onto the detector. Settings...

    More 4 kHz observations....

    So it's raining cats and dogs here and I'm off for the next 3 days - now I can devote some time to detector settings! Last night I wanted to see the difference, if any, between frequencies vs max detection depth. During this test I kept everything constant except operating frequency and the...

    Results of last week's 4kHz trial hunts...

    So I've been having some success with using 4 kHz in trashy areas, most notably at the fairgrounds site. The first two pictures is the result of the first hunt at the roller coaster area using the 4 kHz program. Didn't find any bottlecaps in the 2 hours I was there at that trip which was...

    Air testing a 4kHz program...

    Hello again - Before I get going tonight I air-tested the same coins using a 4 kHz program suggested by DukeOBass. I must say - even with the Reactivity on "2" and Silencer on "0" Deus was ultra-sensitive to the coins, and the EMI was about the same intensity as last night's test. Settings...

    Air test results from a few programs...

    Last night in lieu of hunting I decided to do some air testing on some very familiar programs and also experiemented with a couple new ones. The experimental new 12 kHz program I tried is basically the same as "12K COINS" except with reactivity at "2" instead of "3". Look at the max depth gained...

    Last couple of hunts - school and fairgrounds

    Went to the elementary school across the street from my house that's given up tons of clad in the past to try some new settings. Have been running a 12 kHz program with reactivity at 3 and silencer at 0 especially near sidewalks where coins like to be on edge. The lower silencer settings will...

    3 more hours at the apartments...

    Went back to the apartments again today and gave it 3 hours at 12 kHz!!! Walked out of there with $5.67 in clad but still no silver coins - I'm beginning to think that those were all sucked up 35-40 years ago, but even with the technology then, whoever couldn't have got them all! Found a nice...

    No silver coins in a while, but...

    Haven't been hunting as much lately due to a few factors - but I did manage to get permission from another rental agency to hunt more houses in the area. Thursday night I went about a half mile down the street to hunt yet another c1950-era cottage. There must have been a detectorist that used to...

    Hunting my old apartments & 1 hour in the tot lot

    Recently I've been playing around with a few settings - mainly lowering the silencer to 0 and 1 to listen for those deeper, on edge coins next to curbs and sidewalks. When there's not bottlecaps around these lower settings really help "hook" those faint signals, most so in between other targets...

    Still in the front yard :detecting:

    Went back last night to the house that produced the Walker a couple of days ago and spent some more time in the front yard ONLY! This time I started at the end of the driveway and quickly found two Wheats in the same hole - almost didn't dig the signal since it was slightly elongated...but Im...

    First Walker, 8 Wheats, and a 15-coin clad glory hole! :cool:

    I obtained permission to hunt another rental home on our street after I first hunted the house next door to us. There was a night-and-day difference between the first rental house I hunted vs the second...the second one apparently never had fill dirt brought in so I wasn't finding zincolns at 6"...

    Reactivity of 3 equals fantastic finds!

    Last night I walked about 55 feet to the recently vacated rental property next door and spent about 2.5 hours in the front yard only. Highlights were 4 Wheats and $3.26 in shallow clad plus a few pieces of brass whatzits! Nothing was over 4" deep and many of the zincolns and nickels happened to...

    First finds of March!

    Last night it was in the 60s so I took advantage of this before we get hammered by ice and snow later today and tomorrow...Spent 4 hours total and found loads of trash, but a few keepers surfaced as well. Found the token under a couple inches of concrete - almost didn't go after it after I...
